About Kayla
I love sport. I love people. I love movement.
Sport has always been a part of my life, from competitive gymnastics to ultimate frisbee. Sport has provided me with connection, friendship, challenge, and purpose. I also experienced perfectionism, crippling self-doubt, and performance anxiety. It is a real honour to journey with people as they pursue their dreams.
This is why my work is centered on helping individuals build the capacity to navigate pressure, uncertainty, setbacks, and growth with greater clarity, resilience, and self-trust, without losing themselves in the process.
I am a parent to two amazing kids, a military spouse, and I'm on a quest to reclaim being weird and embrace awkwardness.
I am also passionate about contributing to positive youth sports experiences and supporting sports parents.
